Government Reimagined

In Government Reimagined, Lorraine Cochran-Johnson provides an enlightening look at the dynamic and changing components of modern government by a former corporate executive turned politician. Lorraine merges her diverse professional background, empirical knowledge, and practical experiences in corporate America and government to create best practices for service-based organizations. Government Reimagined comes at a time when many urban environments across the United States are experiencing a housing crisis, unprecedented growth, gentrification, rising crime, diminishing green space, aging infrastructure, and an increased need for social services. Her book lays the foundation for elected officials to think differently and shifts the paradigm from traditional thought and partisan politics to government as a corporate entity that masters service delivery and adopts best practices to survive the normal probability distribution of the bell curve. Government Reimagined is an enlightening look at the dynamics of government, organizational structure, and best practices for service-based organizations and modern-day government to achieve maximum efficiency. Written strategically to build upon a foundation that begins with leadership and vision, Government Reimagined carries the reader from basic organizational theory to strategic economic development. Core chapters walk the reader through the guiding principles that have helped Lorraine manage million-dollar corporations and deliver results. The book introduces the concept of 3 Cs – care, conviction, and capacity. It is the 3 Cs that Lorraine presents as the essential characteristics of leaders who excel in all walks of life.
